spells are never final until the expansion goes live, and even then, its not 100% final.
its not that the list was "leaked" some things are in beta when beta goes down, and never make it live. that means sometimes they are in when the NDA is lifted. its easy to get confused when things like this happened, however, ALL shaman rk. I spells were vendor sold. I don't know anything about the "undead giant bane spell" that has been mentioned.
some classes did get spells that were not vendor sold, which it is easy to see why. some spells (like mage summoned gear) would be tedious to implement into 3 tiers, as well as other spells that would just make no sense to seperate into 3 tiers. like illusions...do take notice that the non-vendor sold spells have no different ranks. and while it would have been easy to just drop them onto a vendor, since they are only one-rank-spells it does encourage people to actually go out into content and group.
